A regular performer at Ronnie Scotts, other jazz clubs and festivals around the UK, saxophonist Josh Kemp has released 5 CDs of original compositions to widespread acclaim, and completed several Art-Council funded national tours. His latest ensemble blends the mainstream and 'Blue Note' tradition with a fresh melodic contemporary sound. Joining Josh in the front-line is the incredible trumpeter Steve Fishwick, without a doubt one of the finest jazz players the UK has ever produced. Steve has recently been appointed as Principal Jazz Trumpet Tutor at Leeds College of Music. The combination of trumpet, sax and Hammond organ on Josh’s most recent CD Rare Groove conjures up the spirit of Larry Young’s classic Blue Note album Unity. ‘A group of British musicians capable of holding their own with the best’ - Jazz Journal, ‘Outstanding’ Jazzwise. Josh Kemp - saxes, Steve Fishwick - trumpet, Liam Dunachie - Hammond organ and Tristan Maillot - drums. The band continue on down to Teignmouth Jazz Festival on Sat 18th.
